<p>I attend quite a few SharePoint conferences, and I've never been to a bad one, but they all have different approaches and emphasize different things. The SHARE conference in Atlanta next week definitely has a different approach than other conferences. SHARE Differentiators</p><p>Why do you go to a SharePoint conference? I go for three reasons: To attend sessions where I will learn from the real-life experiences of others To see innovative new ideas that I would not have thought of on my own To meet and talk with people to informally share ideas, stories and information</p><p>First of all, the focus is on business and only business. There are no technical sessions. The advantage for you, if you are interested in the business side of SharePoint, is that all the sessions are of potential value, giving you more options to select a full schedule of sessions that have a high degree of relevance for you.</p><p>The second thing that makes SHARE (@share4business) different is the investment that the Eventful Group makes in planning a program that will be useful and relevant.
